Other things - changes on the fly, coach shaking things up, different lineups for last minute situations, double shifting a guy on another line, penalties, games missed, etc. eat in to the time that a specific set of 3 players share ice time so that ~1/3 is arguably understated. Often you see regular lines documented around that 40-50 percent of ice time
It’s not like they were a line for only 1/3 of the games, everyone knows that
And yeah, that Backlund as a winger experiment - we all remember that - it was such a bad decision |
So, no. It was not a line that was "set all year."
